Molested Zulong at the beginning

If such a lucrative deal is missed, it would be worse than killing them.

But if he followed what Bai Su said, it would be tantamount to surrendering his sovereignty to others.

For a country that has been passed down for generations, let outsiders have their hands on it. No one would accept such a thing.

Immediately, everyone was tangled in their hearts.

Lord Che Chi saw that everyone was starting to hesitate, and he couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

She gritted her teeth and said, "My lord, even if Daxia's national power is strong and the coinage is excellent, it cannot be used as a trade currency in the Western Regions. After all, the copper coins have weight. Every time we trade, we have to pull a cart full of copper coins. After that, we have to go to the Central Plains to exchange."

"Just going back and forth takes so much time, it's really inconvenient."

Bai Su said with a smile: "Don't worry about that, I will build a lot of money houses in various places."

"The bank?"

Hearing this strange name, everyone couldn't help feeling a little puzzled, not knowing what it was.

Bai Su explained: "As the name suggests, this bank is a place where you can deposit and withdraw money. If you earn [-] coins from trading in the Yuezhi country, and the transportation of copper coins is not convenient, then you can deposit the money in the Yuezhi country. After entering the country's bank, he can receive a bill."

"After that, when you return to Loulan Country, you can take out the [-] copper coins directly from the local bank in Loulan with the receipt."

"As long as it is where my Daxia army is stationed, there will be a Daxia bank."

"In this way, you don't have to worry about the inconvenience of transportation back and forth, and you can withdraw and save money anytime and anywhere."

Everyone stroked their chins, lost in thought.

I have to say, this is indeed a good way.

In the past, when trading between countries, it was often done by bartering. After all, the content of silver coins and gold coins varies from country to country. If you are not careful, you will be cheated.

There is Daxia, a powerful and powerful country, to act as a guarantor, providing a unified currency for all countries, and at the same time solving the problem of inconvenient transportation of copper coins.

It seems that it is indeed a best of both worlds.

only……

This submission to the Protectorate of the Western Regions made them somewhat uncomfortable.

Bai Su looked around and asked with a smile: "What do you think?"

"I don't agree with Kucha." A middle-aged man with a gloomy face said coldly.

The people around were taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously moved away from him.

Good guy, the three kingdoms of Yuezhi, Loulan, and Wusun have all been pacified by Daxia. Even such a King of Hades dares to provoke him, and he doesn't want to live anymore.

Bai Su narrowed his eyes slightly, and gave him a playful look: "Are you the envoy of Qiucha?"

The man said indifferently: "That's right, I'm used to being free in the Western Regions, and I have no intention of submitting to others. I'm following the order of the Protectorate of the Western Regions. Isn't this kneeling on the ground to make money? I'm shivering, it's too shivering, I will not agree, so I will resign."

After all, he flicked his sleeves, ready to leave.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, watching this person walk away, while Bai Su sat in the yard and didn't express anything.

Immediately, everyone's eyes flickered. If they had a choice, they didn't want to follow other people's orders easily.

Bai Su's fingers tapping the table slowly stopped, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, revealing a slight arc.

Having been paying attention to his expression, Loulan High Priest suddenly broke out in a layer of cold sweat, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.

"puff!"

Several crossbow arrows rushed out without warning, startling everyone.

The envoy of the Kucha Kingdom just now fell to the ground, with seven or eight crossbows wounded on his back, and his clothes were slowly soaked red with blood.

"My lord, an assassin has just been discovered and has been dealt with on the spot."

Holding the long sword at his waist, Meng Yi walked in from the door. Behind her, there were a group of crossbowmen holding strong bows and crossbows. The cold arrowheads shone with a faint light, making people shudder.

Obviously, Bai Su never gave them a choice from the very beginning.

Why don't you kneel on the ground for me and earn money honestly to be a dog.

Or... be beheaded directly.

This is really a ruthless character. If he disagrees with him, he will immediately silence him. How can he convince others with reason.

"Assassin, then drag it out."

Bai Su waved his hand lightly, signaling the guards to drag the corpse out, leaving a long bloodstain on the ground. The two guards skillfully picked up the cloth and wiped the blood stains on the ground.

Soon, everything was cleaned up, as if nothing had happened.

Bai Su turned his head with a smile on his face: "Okay, it's quieter now, I don't know what you guys have in mind, just say it."

As his words fell, the hall fell into a dead silence.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and no one dared to open their mouths easily.

Bai Su was not in a hurry, but silently picked up a glass of wine and took a sip, feeling very comfortable, as if he didn't care about the weird atmosphere at all.

"I, the Yuezhi Kingdom, am willing to obey the orders of the Protectorate of the Western Regions."

When everyone was silent, Queen Yueshi in the crowd was the first to stand up and agreed.

High Priest Loulan and General Wusun stood up, "We are also willing to obey the orders of the Protectorate of the Western Regions."

There are people in the front who take the lead, and the people behind naturally don't dare to hesitate much.

One stood up and said, "Everything your lord says makes sense, and people agree with it. I, Jingjue Kingdom, are willing to follow your lord and respond to orders."

Bai Su clapped his palms and said, "Okay, King Jingjue is worthy of being a smart person. I like chatting with smart people the most. In this way...the establishment of the Protectorate of the Western Regions requires the reconstruction of the official system and the management of the Western Regions requires a lot of manpower."

"There are a large number of talented people in the country, but when the government wants someone, it needs the king not to be stingy."

"nature."

King Jingjue hurriedly touched his chest and saluted to express his gratitude.

When everyone saw this, they couldn't do it anymore. If they disagreed, it was a dead word. If they agreed, they could guarantee their prosperity and wealth, and they would have the chance to be promoted.

Who would not want this.

For a time, everyone responded.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Is this the so-called bank..."

Meng Yi looked curiously at the drawings drawn by Bai Su.

On the street, there are Daxia Banks one by one, all over the streets of the Western Regions, where merchants line up to deposit and withdraw money.

Her slender black eyebrows frowned: "I said my lord, what's the use of this bank you got?"

Meng Yi couldn't figure it out, Bai Su spent so much experience, what is the benefit of building this bank.

In the past, all the money used in trade was prepared by the merchants themselves.

Along the way, I have to worry about robbery by bandits. Now Daxia has established a bank and sent troops to help others guard their money. If the money is lost, they have to pay compensation, and they have to take the initiative to give others interest on weekdays.

No matter how you look at it, it is a loss.

Seeing her miserly appearance, Bai Su couldn't help but smiled and said, "What we pay is nothing more than petty profits. Compared with the benefits we get, this doesn't even count as a hair on the body of nine cows."

Meng Yi was taken aback for a moment, and asked doubtfully, "What do you mean by that?"

"We use their money, do things for them, and charge them at the same time."

Seeing her face full of question marks, Bai Su explained: "To put it simply, in business and trade, there will always be an unexpected shortage of money. At that time, they can come to our bank to borrow money."

"If the interest on ordinary deposits is three pennies, then the interest we receive on borrowing money is ten or twenty pennies. We will borrow the money they have deposited with us, so that we can generate tens of thousands of money out of thin air. .”

Meng Yi still didn't understand, she scratched her hair and asked, "But the interest rate is so high, will anyone borrow it?"

Bai Su said with a smile: "Of course, if you do business and suddenly see a batch of high-quality fabrics, you can get ten times the huge profit by taking them back, but you don't have enough money at this time, if you have a place to borrow money, Are you borrowing or not?"

Meng Yi immediately hammered his hand, and his face showed a color of sudden realization.

In such a situation, let alone twenty or thirty Wen, even if it is two or three hundred, I am afraid there will not be the slightest hesitation.

When she thought of this, her apricot eyes could not help but get excited: "My lord, this trick is really wonderful. Using the money from the countries of the Western Regions to help them with affairs, and let them give money willingly, it is simply a huge profit."

Bai Su took a sip of the tea and said, "This is just superficial, the real benefits are other things."

"Any other benefits?"

Meng Yi was taken aback.

Bai Su put down the teacup in his hand, and said: "As the scale of trade continues to expand, more and more merchants from the Western Regions will deposit a large amount of copper coins in the bank."

"We only used a small booklet to exchange for countless genuine gold, silver, and copper coins. All the money in the Western Regions will be gathered in the banks of the Central Plains. At that time, Xianyang will only need one thought to influence all the people in the Western Regions." The rise and fall of the country."

"You can achieve the goal of defeating others without a single soldier. This is the real benefit."

Meng Yi's almond eyes widened, he stared blankly at Bai Su in front of him, and couldn't help but gasped.

I have to say, Mr. Bai is more ruthless.

She led an army of [-], and she attacked by surprise and fiercely, but she only beheaded some enemy troops and captured a few cities.

But Bai Su was lucky, he negotiated with the countries of the Western Regions, and the few words in the treaty directly determined the future fate of these countries in the Western Regions.

Lord Bai uses the pen as a sword, the ink as a sharp edge, and the words as a blade, he is comparable to a master of millions.

"My lord, Princess Yuezhi has arrived."

While the two were discussing, a guard walked in with fists in their hands.

"Xiao Li, okay, I see."

After pondering for a while, Bai Su handed over the drawing in his hand to Meng Yi, and immediately walked towards the next room.

When he entered the room, he saw Xiao Li and Queen Yueshi embracing each other.

Seeing Bai Su walk in, the mother and daughter separated, one big and one small, both beauties.

The only difference is that Queen Yueshi looks very charming, with a plump and mature body showing concave and convex curves, just like a ripe and juicy peach.

But Xiao Li is less playful and eccentric.

She was wearing a light green skirt with a cyan brocade tied around her waist, her eyes were like blue jewels, extraordinarily clear.

When she saw Bai Su coming in, she couldn't help but feel a little shy. After hesitating for a moment, she still saluted: "Thank you, sir, for saving me, Yuezhi."

Bai Su smiled meaningfully: "You don't need to thank me, what you should really thank is...Her Royal Highness the Queen."

Xiao Li was taken aback for a moment, and his little head was suddenly confused, why should he thank his mother so well?

She still doesn't know about the relationship between Queen Yuezhi and Bai Su, so Queen Yuezhi will naturally not tell her daughter about these things.

At this time, Queen Yueshi's beautiful face suddenly glowed with a seductive blush.

She gave Bai Su a coquettish look, after what Bai Su said, even if she half-covered it, with her daughter's intelligence, she would notice something sooner or later, which made her how to behave in front of her daughter.

Xiao Li also sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and couldn't help but cast a suspicious look at Bai Su and Queen Yueshi.

Queen Yuezhi regained her composure, bit her red lips lightly, and looked at Bai Su with full eyes: "Your Excellency defeated the bandit army, established the Protectorate of the Western Regions, and let me wait for the Yuezhi people to serve as officials. Such kindness, my concubine Keep it in your heart, and you will repay it with a spring."

Xiao Li also nodded. After all, nearly half of Yuezhi Kingdom's land had fallen into the hands of the enemy.

Right now, Bai Su not only helped them regain their lost ground, but also wiped out the enemy country, how could this not make her feel grateful.

But Bai Su touched his chin, and said with a half-smile, "Yongquan will repay you?"

Seeing Bai Su's meaningful smile, Queen Yue's face turned rosy.

She clenched her cuffs tightly with her slender jade hands, feeling shy and nervous at the same time. This feeling of taboo mixed between her daughters made her mind a little blank.

Bai Su didn't continue to tease Queen Yuezhi either, she blushed so shamelessly, at least in front of Xiao Li, she needed to save some face.

He coughed lightly, and said: "Now that the bandit army is gone, it's time for me to return to Xianyang to return to my command. Now that the Western Regions Protectorate is newly built, it's time to employ people. I don't know if you have any talents to recommend?"

The mother and daughter were stunned for a moment, and a look of joy suddenly appeared in their eyes.

However, the thoughts in their hearts are different.

Queen Yueshi thought that she and Bai Su were at best a dewy marriage, and it would be difficult to maintain a long-term relationship.

Bai Su is a high-ranking Daliang made in Daxia, and she is just a small puppet of a vassal state. After the capture of Loulan and the establishment of the Protectorate of the Western Regions in Wusun State, she is now of little value.

Even, he was ready to be abandoned by Bai Su in his heart.
